Venereal Disease Control Demonstrations among Rural Blacks in the American South.

Stanfield, John H.

Western Journal of Black Studies, v5 n4 p246-53 Win 1981

Compares the 1929-32 Venereal Disease Control Demonstration Project conducted among Southern Blacks with the 1932 Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. Asserts that while the latter involved unethical research activities, the former fell outside the realm of research ethics, because it exploited human subjects for political gain. (Author/MJL)
